Is lighting better off if everyone is playing in the


same sandbox? Or is it more advantageous to have
multiple sandboxes?

PROGRESS?
OR MARKET
DISRUPTION?

Just when you think the lighting industry nally


might have a chance to catch its breathto adjust to
the latest generation of lighting technology as well as
the most recent round of manufacturer mergers and
acquisitionsevents take place that cause a bit of a stir.
Two events, to be specic: the introduction of a 40W
and a 60W A19 replacement lamp at the $10 price
point, and the Federal Consumer Product Safety
Commissions recall of 554,000 A19, G25, and PAR20
LED lamps.
Whats cause for concern about these two events
is not the events themselves or the manufacturers
associated with them, but what they represent in the
larger context of the lighting industry as it works
tirelessly to adapt to changesboth economic and
technologicalthat are already well under way.
As new players enter the industry from other arenas,
whats at risk is its historical sense of fair play and
communal support. No one is denying a company its
ability to be successful and sell goods in a free-market
economy. But in the current lighting marketplace, with
seasoned and edgling manufacturers competing for
the same customers, the gentlemanly type of business
etiquette that was so essential to the lighting industrys
formation may now be at risk. And thats where the two
examples I mentioned above come in.
A $10 LED Light Bulb
The price barrier that separates traditional lamentstyle light sources and LED products has been a huge
issue in the industry, and it has culminated in a holy
grailstyle quest to create an affordable LED replacement
for the iconic incandescent. Many companies (Philips,
GE, Toshiba, Sharp, Lighting Science Group, and 3M)
have introduced versions of an A19 incandescent,
both on their own and through programs such as the
U.S. Department of Energys L-Prize Competition.
But it was not until Crees March introduction of the
aforementioned 40W and 60W A19 replacement
lamps that anyone has approached the $10 price point,
making these products a more competitive alternative
for consumers. (Only the 40W actually dips below $10,
at a manufacturers suggested retail price of $9.97,
while the two 60W versions retail for between $12.97
and $13.97.)
This seems like an important step forward. It also
seems to y in the face of programs such as the L-Prize
Competition, which was launched to create an outlet
for everyone in the industry to work toward a shared
goal. The L-Prize process was by no means perfect,
but its intent, to encourage technology developments
across the industry that aid in establishing baseline
product standards for solid-state lighting, is crucially
important.

COMMENT

So what does it say when companies introduce


products outside of industry platforms such as this?
How can the lighting industry as a whole get a handle
on the complexity of solid-state lighting and establish
the next generation of lighting metrics? Is lighting better
off when everyone is playing in the same sandbox? Or is
it more advantageous to have multiple sandboxes?
Lamp Recalls: A Technology Self-Check
The recalled lamps noted above were produced
between Oct. 4, 2010, and March 18, 2011, by the
Lighting Science Group (LSG), and were sold under
the brand names Denity (Lighting Science Group
brand), EcoSmart (Home Depot brand), Sylvania, and
Westinghouse. The reason for recall? Reports that
overheating was leading to re.
Product recalls are not new, but the one that effected
the LSG LED lamps is the rst one with these particular
shapes (A19, G25, and PAR20). Of course, no technology
is perfect, and companies such as LSG know that a
key part of innovation is risk. This specic recall gives
rise to important questions that the lighting industry
is guring out how to deal with now that solid-state
lighting technology has introduced a new set of issues.
These are questions such as: What is at risk when
the manufacturing process relies on both in-house
production and outsourcing of components? How does
a manufacturer nd trustworthy suppliers? Where do
warranties factor in?
And what about price? This too is part of the
overall issue. As prices drop, is it because the cost of
materials has dropped, or are compromises being made
unknowingly in the production process?
Another unfortunate side-effect of this recall is that
it provides an excuse for some in the industry to pile
on the usual LED bashing. To that, I would simply ask:
Havent we moved beyond this?
The next few months will be interesting. Having sorted
through more than 300 lighting related products for this
annual product issue of architectural lighting, I feel
as though I might know the manufacturers product
offerings as well as they do themselves. Im curious to
see who shows what at Lightfair and how each will be
received in the marketplace.
Im also eager to see who decides to operate within
industry channels and who decides to play outside those
boundaries. For the moment, at least, I havent been able
to decide if thats progress or if its a type of market
disruption that handicaps the lighting industry in the
long term.

ILLUMINATING
THE WAY, 25
YEARS LATER
The Lighting Research Centers
silver anniversary drew 175
industry leaders to Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute.
text by Wanda Lau

The value of light is typically measured in dollars, color


temperature, or efcacy. But how does one quantify the
sense of security that light provides in a parking garage,
or the increased productivity of workers in a bright
factory? This question of enumerating the objective,
along with the psychological benets of light, was posed
to the roughly 175 industry experts and participants
who attended the 25th anniversary celebration of
the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, N.Y., on March 20.
Audience members representing a number of
elds, such as architecture, lighting, manufacturing,
and policy, came from across the U.S. and around the

12

AL Mar/Apr 2013

worldincluding attendees from Germany, South Korea,


Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Swedento
commemorate the university-based research center
and educational institution. The LRC is internationally
recognized for conducting objective, third-party testing
of lighting products as well as for its research and
development work with lighting technologies and their
associated impact on human factors.
In his opening remarks, LRC director and co-founder
Mark Rea stressed the importance of nding additional
metrics to expand the denition of the value of lighting
to the benet of the environment and society. Because
the private and public sectors gravitate toward objective
perceived metrics, the qualitative real value of lighting
is at risk of being value engineered out of projects.
Keynote speaker Rory Sutherland, vice chairman
of Ogilvy Group UK, enlightened the crowd with case
studies in which prioritizing general psychological
metrics led to tangible benets. The challenge of
ascertaining and communicating the value of lighting
was discussed by a ve-member panel, which included
Sutherland along with Peter Bennich, Solid-State
Lighting chair, Swedish Energy Agency; Steven Briggs,
general manager of Global Product Management, GE
Lighting Solutions; Randy Burkett, president and design
principal, Randy Burkett Lighting Design; and Andrew
Vesey, COO and executive vice president, AES Corp.
During the day, the LRC also hosted an open house
of its facility in the historic W. & L.E. Gurley Building,
which dates back to 1862. Though it may appear like

an old factory with basically empty space, Rea says,


the four-story building allows the LRC to fulll its core
competence to measure light and electricity while
responding to the needs of its particular customersa
diverse range of constituencies that includes the Federal
Aviation Administration and dairy farmers. The space
also allows the LRC to adapt quickly to industry-wide
changes in lighting products. Were not committed to
a technology, Rea says. Were committed to lighting.
The event also celebrated the opening of the LRCs
new photometry laboratory, funded by the New York
State Energy Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA). Irvin Jack White, the past NYSERDA
president who issued the original 1987 request for
proposals that would establish the LRC, cut the ribbon
alongside Rea and current NYSERDA president and
CEO Frank Murray Jr..
The day culminated at the historic Franklin Plaza
Ballroom, where Rea and other LRC staff paid tribute to
individuals and organizations with longtime afliations
with the center. Rea also announced the launch of the
Glenn W. Bailey Industry Mentor program and its rst
honoree, Fred Heller, chairman emeritus and former
CEO of Genlyte. As part of the program, Heller will
help introduce students and researchers at the LRC to
important practices in the lighting profession. The LRC
then presented a 25-Year Award to NYSERDA for its
leadership in lighting research and support for the center.

NEXT GENERATION
LUMINAIRES COMPETITION
WINNERS ANNOUNCED

The program recognizes energy-efcient LED


luminaires for the commercial lighting marketplace.
text by Elizabeth Donoff

The winners of both the outdoor and indoor categories


of the annual Next Generation Luminaires (NGL) SolidState Lighting Design Competition were announced
in February and March. The outdoor portion of the
competition was announced rst, during the Strategies
in Light conference in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb.
1214. The winners of the indoor portion of the
competition program were announced on March 20
during LEDucation 7 in New York City.
The NGL competition was launched in 2008 to
promote excellence in the design of energy-efcient
LED luminaires for general illumination in commercial
lighting applications. It also serves as a specication
resource for designers so that they can better
navigate the abundance of luminaire offerings in the
marketplace. The competition is sponsored by the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Illuminating
Engineering Society, and the International Association
of Lighting Designers. In 2012, the program began to
evaluate indoor and outdoor xtures separately under
two competitions.
In the outdoor competition, 176 products were
submitted for consideration, but only 151 were eligible.
Of those, only 120 moved on to the actual judging stage
as they met both the market readiness and proper
documentation requirements. In the end, 37 luminaires
were recognized from the pool of entries, representing
42 different manufacturers.

Pacic Northwest National Laboratory; Craig Bernecker,


the Lighting Education Institute; Mary Matteson Bryan,
an independent consultant; Nancy Clanton, Clanton &
Associates; and Barbara Cianci Horton, HLB Lighting
Design. The luminaires were evaluated as objects and
tested in their proper eld or site application at the
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute in Blacksburg,
Va., using the following criteria: color, appropriate
illuminance, light distribution, glare control, appearance,
serviceability, value, and energy efciency.
In the indoor category, 28 luminaires were
recognized from a pool of 156 entries. (Only 99 made
it to the judging phase with market-ready samples and
proper documentation.)
The three Best in Class winners were as follows:

Acuity Brands/Lithonia Lightings W Series


LED stairwell luminaire

The entries were judged by a panel of nine


lighting industry professionals: David Ghatan, C.M.
Kling & Associates; Ron Gibbons, the Center for
Infrastructure Based Safety Systems at the Virginia

AL Mar/Apr 2013

Every lighting design project has its own inherent risks


and liabilities. For example, a designer may spend a
good deal of time preparing initial drawings and plans
for a project that ultimately falls through. Or perhaps
the projects owner, developer, or architect les for
bankruptcy protection and the designer is unable to
recover the fees and costs associated with his or her
work. There is very little, if anything, that a designer can
do to prevent the above scenarios from playing out.
But there is one risk that is extremely commonplace,
and often very damaging both to a designers reputation
and protabilityit is called scope-creep. Scopecreep is created as a result of a lack of communication
between the lighting designer and the project owner
and other subcontractors, and by failing to utilize proper
contract procedures. Scope-creep can also be a product
of a designers ego or desire to increase revenue. It is
an equal opportunity dangermeaning that it is equally
prevalent in large commercial projects as it is in small
residential jobs. The good news is that the damaging
effects of scope-creep can be managed or limited by
following a few simple guidelines.
What Is Scope-Creep?
A term coined by project managers, scope-creep is
the continuous growth or change in the scope of a
particular project beyond its original stated intent. In
small residential jobs, lighting designers encounter
this problem when a homeowner or interior designer

expands on the original scheme; in large projects,


the architect may redesign a particular oor or
design component.
In one real world example, which we will use
throughout this article, a homeowner retained the
services of an interior designer to redesign her homes
entire rst oor. The interior designer, in turn, retained
the services of a lighting design rm. Both the interior
designer and the lighting consultant entered into a
standard contract for services that outlined the scope
of the lighting designers responsibilities. Unfortunately,
the lighting designer never spoke to the homeowner
directly and only relied on the interior designers
explanation of the scope of work.
Two months into the project, the homeowner emailed
the lighting designer and requested a redesign of some
of the rooms, as well as additional work in the screening
room in the basement. The lighting designer, believing
that he would be able to generate additional revenue
from the added work in the basement screening room,
quickly agreed. Unknowingly, the lighting designer
germinated the seeds of scope-creep.
Scope-creep is analogous to pachysandra, which is
a low-growing, shade-loving evergreen that spreads
rapidly. If you plant a small patch of pachysandra in the
spring, by the end of the summer it will have doubled
or tripled in size. This is what happens with scopecreep. As you begin to accept changes to the original
scope of work without taking the proper measures
to control scope-creep, your workload will double or
triple, your liability will increase, and your protability
will usually decrease.
What Creates Scope-Creep?
It is most commonly born out of poor communication
between the lighting designer and the homeowner
or architect, or from a failure to implement proper
contract procedures. But scope-creep can also arise from
improper analysis of the original scope of work; failure
by the lighting designer to establish and comply with
internal procedures for dealing with change orders; lack
of communication between the architect, developer, and
owner; the inability to procure certain design elements
for construction materials; the allure of making more
money on the project; or from clients seeking to get
more work out of the designer for free.
What Are the Risks?
Generally, the risks are proportionate to the level of
creep that exists on a particular project or job. For
example, if a homeowner asks a lighting designer to
oversee a small portion of an electricians work, the
potential risk to the designer is relatively minor. On a

It is imperative, regardless
of whether hired by a
homeowner, developer,
or architect, that the lighting
designer clearly explains his
or her services and expertise
as well as explains what types
of work are includedand
excludedin the project
agreement. This all should
be outlined at the initial
meeting and also should be
referred to briey in his or
her contract. If the lighting
designer is required to sign
the developers or architects
contract, he or she should
look to include language in the
contract clearly establishing
his or her scope of work.

larger project where the potential for creep is greater,


however, the risks can be devastating.
The best way to illustrate the magnitude of the
potential risk is to go back to the aforementioned story
of the lighting designer. Shortly after agreeing to take
on the additional work, the designer began developing
the screening rooms lighting design scheme without
communicating with the interior designer rst. After
spending hours designing the layout, the lighting
designer presented his design to the homeowner and
interior designer. The interior designer explained that
the proposed lighting plan would not work because she
was redesigning the entire basement, not merely the
screening room. The homeowner apologized for not
clarifying the issue with the lighting designer and asked
if he would be able to work with the interior designer to
formulate a new lighting plan for the basement. At this
point, the job had signicantly decreased in protability
for the lighting designer.
The homeowner then approached the lighting
designer and asked if he would supervise her
electricians work, offering an additional hourly fee
for this. The lighting designer explained that he is a
designer and not an electrician but agreed to oversee
the implementation of his lighting plan. The electrician
caused a fair amount of unnecessary damage to the
homes ceilings and walls, which created a nearly
four-week delay. Ultimately, the electrician and lighting
designer were sued for negligence and breach of
contract. The homeowner sought more than $700,000 in
compensatory and consequential damages. In an effort
to avoid the protracted litigation, the lighting designer
settled his portion of the claim for $115,000.
Can Scope-Creep Be Prevented?
While many would like to believe that scope-creep is
something that can be prevented, in reality, it cannot.
Changes to the scope of work are inherent to almost
every project. To suggest that it can be avoided or
eliminated is wishful thinking.
That being said, every job is going to require some
tweaks to the original scope of work. These adjustments
to the original scope are not necessarily damaging if the
increase in scope of work is handled and documented
properly. In other words, you cannot eliminate changes
to the project scope, but you can manage its effect by
following a few simple procedures.
The two best ways to manage changes to the scope
of the project are through proper communication and
contract procedures.
Proper Communication
It is imperative, regardless of whether hired by a
homeowner, developer, or architect, that the lighting
designer clearly explains his or her services and
expertise as well as explains what types of work are
includedand excludedin the project agreement.
This all should be outlined at the initial meeting
and also should be referred to briey in his or her
contract. If the lighting designer is required to sign
the developers or architects contract, he or she
should look to include language in the contract clearly
establishing his or her scope of work.
For example, the designer in our story should have
advised the homeowner in writing that he is not qualied
to oversee the work of the electrician and that he
would only be overseeing implementation of his design.
Separately, he should have advised her that he would
not be held liable for any consequential damages arising
from the implementation of his design. Consequential
damages are damages that are not directly related to
ones contract, but which can arise from his or her
worksuch as penalties for delay or loss of use.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Changes to the projects scope should be treated as


an entirely new agreement with the client. This means
that you should fully understand the scope of the new
assignment, conrm it with your client, and put it in
writing. Had the designer taken the time to discuss
with the homeowner the nature and extent of his
responsibilities with designing the screening room,
he would have learned that the interior designer had
plans for the entire basement layout. The lighting
designer also should have consulted with the interior
designer concerning the basement plans.
Theres an overlooked and often underutilized word
used to combat the expanding scope of a project: No.
Lighting designers should not be afraid to tell their
clients that they cannot or do not want to expand the
scope of their duties. Had the lighting designer told
the homeowner that he did not want to supervise the
electrician, he most likely would not have been sued.
But if you are interested in expanding the scope of
your work, you must communicate effectively with
your client and stay in control of your clients demands
and expectations.
Proper Contract Procedures
Regardless of whether your client is signing your
contract or insisting that you sign his, it is your
obligation to ensure that the scope of work is
adequately dened. Far too often, general terminology
is used when dening the scope of work, such as
to design and implement a formal lighting plan
throughout oors 1 through 15. This does not
adequately dene the designers scope of work. Specic
language explaining your job and your limitations
should be included in the scope of work section.
If, during the course of a job or project, the original
scope of work changes, you must document the change
in writing. While minor changes or deviations may be
outlined in an email, larger scope changes should be
included in a change order or as an addendum to the
original contract.
Scope-creep is often the result of undocumented
verbal communications. In order to protect yourself,
any conversations concerning the scope of your duties
or responsibilities should be put in writing. That way,
if a dispute arises, you have proof of the agreement.
It is not uncommon to see a lighting designer and an
architect tied up for years in litigation arguing over
non-payment of work done in connection with verbal
scope-of-work changes.
It is very difcult for a designer to claim that he
or she is entitled to payment for additional work
performed if the request for the additional work is
not contained in writing. In fact, much of the litigation
between architects and lighting designers involves
disputes where a designer believes he or she should
be paid for the additional work, while the architect
argues that no request for additional work was
made or that the additional work falls under the
original scope.
So you need to establish protocols to deal with
expanding work scopes. Before the project outline
begins to change, have a standard protocol set up for
which to accept, conrm, and memorialize changes to
the scope of work. One of the easiest ways to deal with
an expansion of work is to make a habit of creating
addendums to your existing contracts. The addendum
should clearly spell out the expanded scope of work
as well as payment terms and conditions. It should be
signed by both parties and should clearly establish your
rights and remedies. While the damaging effects of
scope-creep cannot be eliminated, they can be managed
and controlled through effective communication and
proper contract procedures.

MEET THE
REPLACEMENTS
Many lamp options dont meet
EISA energy standards. Largescale replacement raises questions
for architects, lighting designers,
lighting manufacturers, and clients.
text by Bill Millard
illustration by Jessica Rubenstein

Contrary to what the public has been led to believe, the


Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007,
which expanded on the 2005 Energy Policy Act (EPAct)
and began taking effect in July 2012 (and which is to
be phased in through 2014), hasnt banned anything.
There is neither an ofcial war on the familiar A-shape
incandescent lamp, nor a mandate to adopt any
particular alternative. What there is, though, is a 28
percent higher efciency standard, as measured in
lumens per watt, plus baselines for lamp lifetimes.
No conventional incandescent lamp in the 40W to
100W range can meet these criteria, while three major
categories of lampshalogen, CFL, and LEDcan, so
a de facto phaseout of inefcient lamps, no matter the
source, is under way nationwide.
Changing lamp technology and its marketplace impact
started long before EISA, says Domingo Gonzalez,
principal at New York lighting design rm Domingo
Gonzalez Associates. Facilities in many sectors (schools,
airports, and libraries, for instance) havent depended on
incandescents for 15 to 20 years. Comparing the current
situation to the dawn of incandescents in the 19th
century, Gonzalez says, We didnt have to pass a law
banning gaslight. It banned itself.
It might appear that EISA has limited manufacturers
ability to produce lamps, but what it actually has done
is give manufacturers a time frame to develop moreefcient next-generation technologies. The Department

of Energys 2009 Rulemaking on Incandescent


Reector Lamps (IRL) and Linear Fluorescentsrequired
by EISA and covering the R, PAR, ER, BR, BPAR, and
similar lamp shapes, along with linear and U-shaped
uorescentsalso went into effect in July. T12 magnetic
ballasts have been banned from manufacture or import
since 2010, but the sale of inventoried T12 lamps is
permissible. The National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) supports the EISA standards, and
major lamp producers have focused on halogens, CFLs,
and LEDs, abandoning incandescents despite the loudly
publicized congressional defunding of EISA enforcement
in 2011.
And the nations lighting is not changing overnight.
Inventories of incandescents, T12s, and older halogens
remain on hand, and habits respond slowly to incentives.
The reector legislation was a bigger shock to the
system, because that was everything all at once, says
Brian Vedder, LED Portfolio Manager at Philips Lighting.
They had this new efcacy requirement, [whereas] the
A-shape [regulation] was phased in over the course of
three years. Still, the scale of change is massive.
Options for speciers boil down to:
A switch to halogen, ideally the newer infrared
(IR) and/or silver-coated varieties, for moderate
gains in efciency but not much gain in
lamp life.

heat, and they emit ultraviolet frequencies that can


damage merchandise. Longevity in the 1,000-hour range
makes current-generation halogens acceptable, but not
ideal, replacements for incandescents in applications
where familiar color rendering is a priority.

As incandescent options fade away, halogens, CFLs, and LEDs


become more viable alternatives. But informed observers
caution that equivalency is a vague term, especially when
it comes to color quality. Instead, they recommend tailoring
features, savings, and timing to specic applications.

A switch to CFLs for comparable energy


gains and longer life if initial cost is the chief
concern; dimming and a tight beam arent
essential; end-of-life disposal isnt worrisome;
and bad memories of early-generation CFLs
with their widely variable quality control and
poor color renderingdont linger.
A switch to LEDs, which requires higher
initial costs and some research on driver
or xture compatibility and color metrics,
but offers better energy savings and lamp
longevity, along with the potential for
sophisticated control options if xtures are
appropriately matched.
A switch from T12 linear uorescents to T8s
(which t the T12 xture, but need a new
ballast) or T5s (requiring new xture and
ballast). This change is required by the 1992
EPAct. (Of note, market parity between T8s
and T12s took until 2001.)

almost became a design mantra. It was no longer about
What do you like? What dont you like? How do you
light a space? It was How do I put the MR16s in on the
project? (But we should not underestimate the vitality
of MR16s: They remain unregulated and are available
in all three major varietieshalogen, uorescent, and
LEDand popular for their small size, range of beam
angles, high CRI, and dimmability.)
As incandescent options fade away, halogens, CFLs,
and LEDs become more viable alternatives. But informed
observers caution that equivalency is a vague term,
especially when it comes to color quality. Instead, they
recommend tailoring features, savings, and timing to
specic applications.

Non-lighting-specialists face a learning curve, having


to translate the familiar 40W, 60W, 75W, and 100W
power levels into the language of brightness (respectively,
about 450, 800, 1,100, and 1,600 lumens). They do,
however, have some help: Manufacturers and the Energy
Star program offer online overviews; and the Federal
Trade Commission, through the Lighting Facts label
program, requires packaging to display brightness,
cost comparisons, longevity estimates, and (if applicable)
presence of mercury. Commercial personnel who are
specifying lamp choices are unlikely to nd lumensper-watt ratios intimidating, but it is also advisable to
become conversant in candelas and color rendering
index (CRI), Vedder says, particularly for PAR lamps in
directional retail applications.
For a purchaser under time pressure whose
circumstances rule out extensive research or sample
testing, Energy Star ratings are a reliable guarantee
of quality in screw-based lamps, notes Joseph Howley,
industry relations leader for GE Appliance and Light.
The important variables are built into the Energy Star
specications: lumen output, candlepower, lamp life,
beam spread, chromaticity, color points, and startup
time, which specically can vary in uorescents.
A key principle in all of these decisions is to assess
the questions that an application presents rather than to
take any one technology for a catch-all answer. Ive been
around long enough to remember 30 years ago when
MR16s came on the market, Gonzalez says. They were
the new, hot thing, and the answer to every question

Halogens: Still Viable, but Not Optimal Long-Term


These lamps offer the simplest substitutions. Its just
another resistive load on the circuit, and the same
rules, Vedder says. If you want a complete, I-donthave-to-think-about-how-it-works [decision], pull out
an incandescent, stick in a halogen, and itll work just
the same. Up-front costs and complex research for a
transition to LEDs may be enough of a hurdle in some
settings that the good-enough option of substituting
halogen lamps, offering about a 30 percent gain in
efciency, will be preferable.
Older halogens, however, will join incandescents
among the phased-out lamps. Halogens in the PAR30
and PAR38 classes, Howley says, will require IR lament
technology, silverized coating, or both to meet energy
standards. Cheryl Ford, marketing manager for Osram
Sylvania, notes that the 2009 IRL regulations call for
replacing the majority of her companys halogen line
by July 2014. Osram Sylvania is pursuing a three-tier
strategy with consumer lamps lasting 1,500 hours, a midrange line lasting 3,000 hours, and a 4,500-hour model
that will be of greatest interest to the commercial market.
Among PAR38 lamps, there is a 30 percent improvement
in efciencynotable, though not competitive with the
80 percent savings from LED PAR38s.
There are also fewer suppliers in the halogen
market than in other sectors, Vedder notes, because
legislated requirements are harder to meet. Whereas
ANSI tolerances for incandescents allowed 4 percent
leeway plus half a watt (some 100W lamps, for example,
actually drew 104.5), the equivalent 72W halogen
has a rm maximum of 72W. Estimates of energy
performance with halogens, however, should include
their thermal effects. Even the new IR halogens, Vedder
observes, waste about 70 percent of their wattage as

CFLs: Cheap, Easy, but Not Universally Loved


Opinions about these once-iconic spiral lamps vary
widely. Still, the CFL has a stronghold on certain
lighting types. Downlighting, however, is not one of
them, Gonzalez says. With price points of CFL and LED
products converging over the past three years, he says,
we havent specied a compact uorescent downlight
in our ofce for sometime. But he views CFLs as
appropriate substitutes for incandescents in restaurant
and hotel applications, despite objections over their color
temperature; he prefers a 3000K white over the common
2700K. A 13W CFLs lamp life of 12,000 hours improves
on a 60W incandescents 1,000, but it does not compete
with an LEDs estimated 25,000 to 50,000 hours.
Though dimming is a persistent problem with CFLs,
Gonzalez notes that major hospitality chains have
standardized using switches instead of dimmers in their
rooms. Dimmability has been an acceptable sacrice for
energy savings, which include indirect HVAC expenses.
Mike Krames, chief technology ofcer of the startup
LED manufacturer Soraa, contends that the CFL era will
be historically brief. The CFL sector blew it, he says.
They didnt see any other technology coming down the
pike [and] ignored LEDs. Having come from a company
[Philips Lumileds] that made both, I can tell you theres
a lot of consternation [about] how to do that transition.
The only metric favoring CFLs, Krames believes, is initial
cost, a variable that is skewed by rebates.
CFLs will remain viable as long as theyre cheaper
than LEDs, Vedder says. GEs Howley notes that CFLs
outperform halogens in longevity, lasting about 8,000
hours rather than 1,000, and that the NEMA Premium
standard for ballasts provides a shorthand for reliability.
As for progress in color quality, Mary Beth Gotti, director
of General Electrics Lighting Institute in Nela Park, Ohio
(just outside Cleveland), has noted that visitors to the
institute pick CFLs over laments approximately half the
time in randomized comparisons.
Upgraded linear uorescents are also alive and
well: Ford, of Osram Sylvania, cites her employers
T8 model, the Octron XPXL (Extended Performance
Extended Life), that is estimated to last up to 84,000
hours on programmed start or 75,000 hours on instant
start. The economics, she suggests, indicate that the
T8 form factor, unlike PAR, is not yet ripe for LED
conversion, except in settings that are hard to reach
or require shatter resistance. High-performance linear
uorescents can also be combined with the same
rms Powersense zero-to-10V dimming ballasts and/
or a lighting-management system such as Encelium, a
exible nonproprietary protocol. With more established
management systems for uorescents than for LEDs,
major migrations to linear LED lamps are unlikely for
about ve or more years, Ford says.
LEDs: Proceed with Eyes Wide Open
For the foreseeable future, LEDs are the fastestexpanding sector. If the descent of some LED prices
to $10 per lamp is any indication, this tendency
should accelerateparticularly, Ford notes, when the
Zhaga Consortiums industry-wide voluntary xture
specications, currently being organized into seven spec
books, catalyze widespread interchangeability among
LED engines, heat sinks, and drivers (See Z is for
Zhaga at archlighting.com/leds/z-is-for-zhaga.aspx).

requirements as states review their energy


codes; the DOE, she notes, is requiring such
reviews by October of this year and the adoption
of ASHRAE 90.1/2010 or equivalent.
Rapid technical progress and price reductions
make it difcult to nd the optimal time to convert
to LEDs, though the extended payoffs are usually
worth the trouble. Efciency improvements in
the LED realm, Vedder says, dont quite keep
pace with the 18-month power-doubling period
that Moores Law associates with microchips,
but they are still occurring fast enough to create
a dilemma between early and later adopters.
Gonzalez sees new breakthroughs in LEDs
appearing every few months, in some cases,
every 90 days.
Replacing other lamps with LEDs requires
attention to xtures and often a conversation with
a lighting manufacturer or consultant. Any time
that you have an electronic circuit and not just a
resistor, you have to translate the input to [the]
dimming function through the electronics, Vedder
says. And any time you do that, you can have
some compatibility issues.
Mixing older and newer LEDs on the same
dimmer circuit is a common source of uneven
performance or shortened lamp life. These
problems can occur whether lamps are labeled
as dimmable or nondimmable, Howley says.
Industry standards for dimming control are in
an early evolutionary stage; some dimmers take
lamps down to 20 percent of their maximum
output and some down to 12 percent, while
others involve awkward step-down functions.
Though manufacturers provide dimming curves
and compatibility information online, all the
sources for this article suggest that direct
testing of sample lamps gives better results than
choices based on spec sheets. Ford recommends
equipment with trailing-edge dimming curves
rather than a four-phase cut. Inrush current can
limit the number of lamps that can go on a single
circuit, and when low-wattage LEDs replace
incandescents, the relation is not always linear.
(One-sixth the wattage per lamp does not mean
its OK to use six times as many lamps on a
circuit.) With LEDs, Ford says, its always good
to install a few before you make any decision.
The only predictable thing about the LED
eld appears to be its unpredictability. Gonzalez
contrasts it to an earlier technology, still valued
for applications where slow warmup times
arent a problem: For many years, we thought
wed hit the wall in metal halide performance,
and then we had a breakthrough called ceramic
metal halide technology, which took it a little
bit further. But we were measuring those
breakthroughs every ve to seven years,
or every 10. With LED technology, were
making a breakthrough every seven months.
So you ask the question: What is the nite limit
of LED performance? Theyre still plumbing it.
They havent found the wall yet.

THE ART OF
LIGHTING

The new home of the Barnes


Foundation in central Philadelphia
sheds new light on the worlds
most important collection of
post-impressionist paintings.
text by Aaron Seward
photos by Michael Moran/OTTO

In the early 20th century, Albert C. Barnesa poor


Philadelphia boy who made his fortune from inventing
and marketing the antiseptic drug Argyrolassembled
what is widely considered to be the most important
collection of post-impressionist paintings on Earth.
Before the rest of the world caught on, he was laying
out modest sums for the purchase of works by Renoir,
Czanne, van Gogh, Matisse, and many more. To house
this collection, he erected a stately Beaux-Arts edice
in the midst of an idyllic arboretum in the suburban
community of Lower Merion, Pa. On the gallerys burlapcovered walls, he arranged his pictures in idiosyncratic,
symmetrical layouts that grouped works of art not by
period or artist, but by interrelationships of composition,
color, and form. As a nishing touch, he established a
school on the grounds wherein students were taught art
appreciation. The gallery was not open to the public, but
if you wanted to view its riches all you had to do was
write to Barnes himself. If he liked you, the door would
open. If he didnt, the door would remain shut.
That would have been the state of the collection
forevermore, had Barness will been followed to its letter.
But after his death, a course of eventsmotivated by
a certain ratio of nancial illiquidity, avarice, civicmindedness, politicking, and the ravages of timedrew
this unique body of work out of its institutional connes
and into the public realm. In the late 2000s, the board
of the Barnes Foundation, backed by a court decision,
determined to move the art to a site on the Benjamin
Franklin Parkway in the heart of Philadelphia. The board
then hired New Yorkbased Tod Williams Billie Tsien
Architects to design a new museum.
In a conciliatory gesture to the memory of Barnes,
the new museum was required to re-create the interiors
of the original Merion galleries down to the last detail,
including the exact placement of the works of art.
Outside of that, the architects were free to encase the
galleries within a contemporary wrapper, so long as it
provided the programmatic elementscaf, gift shop,
traveling exhibition galleries, art library, and queuing
spacenecessary for a public building that expected to
host hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien wanted to make sure


that the new Barnes was infused with natural light. To that end,
one of the main architectural features of the project is the Light
Court (left). Here, museum guests make the transition from
the public areas to the galleries. The angled ceilingthe light
canopycaptures southern light entering through a huge light
box that runs the length of the building and casts it down into
the space. The natural light combines with 28W T5 uorescents
and washes the perimeter walls, helping to give the space a
sense of scaleand visitors a reference to the time of day.

DESIGN

But whatever the merits of Barness original museum,


it did have one failing on which everyone seems to
agree: the lighting. The intention, when constructed in
the 1920s, was that the artwork would be viewed in the
daylight from the galleries windows, and in the context
of the beautiful natural landscape that surrounded
the building. Conservationists later discovered the
deteriorating effects of sunlight on the paintings and
drawings, so heavy draperies were drawn across the
museums windows, leaving the art to be experienced
in the gloom provided by incandescent pendant xtures
that hung in the middle of each room.
In designing the new structure, Williams and Tsien
intended to bring daylight back into the Barnes. In
rethinking the problem, Tod Williams says, one of
the rst ideas we had was to try to make sure that the
windows could be real windows, without shades, that
look out onto the parkway landscape.
Early in the process, the architects hired lighting
design rm Fisher Marantz Stone to help devise a
scheme that would combine natural and electric light in
order to create an optimal condition in which to view the
art without causing it to fade. They also made an effort
to remain faithful to the spirit of the original galleries,
while at the same time improving the lighting. We
decided early on that we were not going to light pictures,
we were going to light rooms, says lighting designer
Paul Marantz. The pictures would be lighted because the
room is lighted, so no tracks with lots of spotlights.
In the new building, as was the case at Merion, the
main galleries face south. In large part, this southern
exposure is guarded by an alle of mature London plane
trees that ank the parkway, but a lot of daylight still
gets through, especially during the winter months when
the sun is low in the sky. To mitigate this condition,
the design team specied glazing that cuts out all but
15 percent of transmitted light. The windows are also
outtted with a coating that eliminates 100 percent of
ultraviolet light. Even with these measures in place, the
natural light levels can reach amounts that would alarm
conservationists. So the team equipped the windows
with an automated shading system with two blinds: one
is opaque and the other is a solar shade that reduces
light transmission to 5 percent.
The daylighting combines with an electric scheme
that is made up entirely of indirect uorescent sources.
On the rst oor, 54W T5HO xtures concealed in
the cornice send a wash of light across the ceiling. On
the second oor, T5s concealed in the coves of the
clerestories provide additional indirect light to each
room. The team also designed pendant xtures for each
gallery, equipped with compact uorescent lamps, which
are interpretations of ones that hung in Merion. In the
rst oors smaller galleries, the team applied silver leaf
to the ceilings, providing a more reective surface for the
indirect lighting from the electric sources.

Lighting remains true in spirit to the layouts of the original Merion site, but a concerted effort was made to light the galleries, not the art. The rst gallery that visitors enter is the Main Room (top).
Highlights here include Paul Cezannes The Card Players and Georges Seurats Models. To address southern light entering the space during winter, when the sun is low, the windows are treated with a UV
coating, and outtted with an automated shading system. In the galleries on the second oor, T5s concealed in the coves of the clerestories provide additional indirect light to each space (above left and right).

In the lower level lobby area (right), the theme of natural light
working in concert with electric light continues. Track-mounted
PAR wallwashers illuminate the art on the walls, while a linear
uorescent covelight uplights the concrete-exposed ceiling.
Daylight, from the gallery garden seen beyond, makes up the
balance of illumination.

All of the uorescent xtures are 3500K color


temperature, Marantz says, warmer than daylight
but cooler than most tungsten gallery lighting. We felt
that if the electric light was going to complement the
natural light in a way that they both work together,
then you needed to have soft sources so that the
transition is less abrupt.
Photo sensors on the gallery wall opposite the
windows monitor the amount of daylight entering
the room and adjust the electrical sources in order
to maintain a consistent light level. The uorescent
sources, however, are never turned off completely.
Another sensor on the roof raises and lowers the
shadesthis sensor is a miniature scale model of the
building. In addition, the automated control system has
optional manual overrides that can dial in the exact
condition desired in any one of the rooms.
The rest of the museum is lit with a combination
of uorescent electric sources and daylight. The most
phenomenal of these spaces is the cavernous court
where visitors queue up to await their turn to experience
Barness peculiar world. Here, Williams and Tsien
reiterated a theme that they have applied to many
projects, most recently the C.V. Starr East Asian Library
at the University of California at Berkeley. The angled
ceiling captures southern light entering through an
enormous light box that runs the length of the building
and casts it down into the space. The natural light
combines with 28W T5 uorescents that wash
the perimeter walls.
The one exception to the uorescent-and-daylight
approach is in the exhibition gallery, which combines
T5s concealed behind a Clipso fabric ceiling with
90W halogen PAR and AR111 xtures on tracks.
Not everyone has been happy with the collections
move from Merion to central Philadelphia. Its
undeniable: Something special was lost in the
destruction of Barness original museum. The old
sylvan setting he cultivated for the appreciation of
art is now used merely for the horticulture education
program started by his wife in 1940. But much has
been gained from the new arrangement. Not only is
this treasure trove of art more accessible and better
protected, it is also easier to see. When we moved into
the new building, everybody said, Oh, you cleaned all
the pictures, Marantz says. That wasnt true. It was
just that the color rendering got improved so radically.
For the rst time since they shuttered the windows at
Merion, you could see the blues.

A PLACE IN
THE SUN

Once an afterthought in
architectural design, lighting is
now securing a front-row seat.
text by Brian Libby
illustration by Tang Yau Hoong
Architectural lighting designers, once relegated to
specifying luminaires on a room-by-room basis during
late-stage schematic design, are now among the growing
number of consultants gathering around the project
kick-off tableand for good reason. Strictures such as
LEED certication and tighter energy codes demand
an integrated design process coupled with a holistic,
systems-thinking approach.
Case in point: the Ohio State University Wexner
Medical Centers 1.6-million-square-foot expansion.
To achieve the ambitious efciency goal of LEED Silver
certication for a healthcare project the size of 28 football

elds, architecture rm HOK had all hands on deck


from day onefrom the client to representatives of every
major design discipline. Every design move we made had
to be calculated back against a performance criteria, says
Tom Kaczkowski, who leads HOKs lighting group. From
inuencing building siting to coordinating the intensive
infrastructure layouts, the lighting design team needed
to direct design solutions rather than react to them to
meet the buildings performance requirements.
Technology is making early collaboration not only
more imperative, but also more feasible. The evolving
generation of building information modeling (BIM)
programs, for instance, helps prevent costly collisions
in the maze of overhead building systemslighting,
structural, HVAC, electrical, audiovisual, and re
suppression. But to prove the value of illumination,
designers must use more than just software.
Daylight by Design
The industrys increasing role in architectural design
coincides with the growing need to emphasize the value
of lighting in more than just dollars and lumens. Beyond
electric illumination, a lighting designer helps oversee
the design of the entire visual environment, says Russ
Leslie, associate director of the Lighting Research Center
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, N.Y.

We have evolved
tremendously. Its not
just about the lighting
equipment anymore.
Over my career, Ive
seen how [lighting
designers have] become
more recognized and
more valued.
Tom Lyman, HDR

To achieve a project teams vision, integrating


architecture, engineering, and lighting should start with
conceptual design, says Tom Lyman, director of lighting
design at HDR, an AEC design rm headquartered in
Omaha. Lighting designers daylighting knowledge
can be used to inform architects about details such
as window sizing, shading devices, and louvers.
Meanwhile, knowing whether an ofce has an open
or enclosed plan, or 4-, 6-, or 8-feet-tall partitions, will
help determine where ambient light and tasklights are
most appropriate, he says. Space planning relates to
our lighting design.
Lyman and his staff create study models in SketchUp
and AGi32 to recommend approaches to architects and
clients. Ultimately, they use detailed AGi32 models for
analysis and Revit for coordinating lighting systems with
architectural and engineering models.
Changing Conditions
As BIM programs such as Revit gain popularity, lighting
designers are increasingly asked to estimate the total
electric load in a building. After all, somebody has
to monitor and track all the lighting in a building,
Kaczkowski says. By embedding smart data such as
lighting loads, lamping data, manufacturers names, and
catalog numbers into Revits lighting families, designers
can assess the projects anticipated energy performance
in real time. You have to say at the end of the day, We
delivered a project that consumes this much energy and
has this many controls, he says.
By coupling BIM with other software programs,
designers can address problems before they happen.
Well use it to run clash detection, a tool to go in and
see what wasnt coordinated, Kaczkowski says. This
digital coordination translates to huge savings in the

Intelligent Luminaire Design

TANGENT

eld where construction mistakes are costly to x.


There are huge benets for Revit and BIM, he says.
Youll see more rms being vetted who are not able
to do it. He cites AGi32, ElumTools (a plug-in for Revit),
and COMcheck as common electric lighting software
programs. Meanwhile, his go-to daylighting programs
include Ecotect Analysis, Radiance, COMFEN, and
DAYSIM.
Software doesnt guarantee project coordination
and success though: good designers and good
communication do. For the Martin Luther King Jr.
National Memorial, in Washington, D.C., Randy Burkett
Lighting Design worked with lighting designer David
Mintz to create an evening illumination scheme that
was as soft and subtle as the sculptures daytime
presence was grand. Professionals in lighting, landscape
design, and architecture came together to generate
mock-ups in the ofce and on the site, Burkett says.
Being involved early on and talking to stakeholders
about what King and the project meant to them changed
the design, he says. If not for the early engagement,
it just wouldnt have happened.
Working across disciplines is becoming essential
not just for veteran designers, but also for those
learning their craft. Even in a scholastic environment,
the [architecture students] are working with interior
designers, who are working with lighting designers,
says Nelson Jenkins, principal of New York Citybased
Lumen Architecture, who also teaches lighting at the
School of Constructed Environments at Parsons The
New School for Design. (The school has been actively
working to integrate its architecture, lighting, and
interior design programs, as well as create dual degree
programs in architecture and lighting.)
To hone their integrated designs, Jenkins says,
students use programs such as Radiance, Ecotect
Analysis, DAYSIM, 3ds Max, and Rhino to ensure that
ideas complement each other from the start. Its picking
each of their distinct views on design and merging them
together, he says. The hope is that you have a more
ushed-out, integrated design in the end.
Minding the Gap
One potential downfall of becoming involved early and
often is that the emphasis on performance and technical
data may make lighting designers work seem more
prescriptive than artistic. Some of my peers complain
that weve almost become lighting accountants, whether
its light levels or consumption, Kaczkowski says.
But with an early say in a project, lighting designers
can become vital to educating other professionals
about common misconceptions in illumination. Take,
for instance, solid-state lighting: While it can help
reduce energy and maintenance costs over time, it often
requires a higher initial investment. Kaczkowski says he
frequently has conversations with other team members
unaccustomed to the price of LEDs. Were still on the
cusp of convincing estimators and contractors, he says.
This balance between right- and left-brain thinking
is precisely a lighting designers niche, Lyman says. Ive
often acted as a bridge between architects and engineers
because we have to be sensitive to both [elds].
Of course, not every project will follow the ideal
model of early collaboration among architects, lighting
designers, and other consultants. For projects not
utilizing BIM software, design teams may be less
motivated to proactively coordinate. But, overall, the
blossoming of integrated project delivery in the early
2000s has helped the design profession see the light.
We have evolved tremendously, Lyman says. Its not
just about the lighting equipment anymore. Over my
career, Ive seen how [lighting designers have] become
more recognized and more valued.

may change, but one thing is constant:
There will always be luminaires. This year,
architectural lighting received more
than 300 lighting-related products for
consideration for our annual product
issue, which we narrowed down to just
over 150. Thats never an easy task,
nor one that we take lightly. So how do
we decide what to include? First, we rule
out any products that we have already
covered over the past year. Then, as we
read through the literature and technical
spec sheets, we ask: Is this something
a lighting designer or an architect would
specify for a project? We also take
into consideration evolving lighting
technologies and how they are playing
out in the marketplace. Once the
decisions have all been made, we then
cull the salient features of a product to

DAYLIGHTING AND
SOLAR CONTROL

Solatube Similar to Solatubes other
daylighting systems, the Smart LED harvests
sunlight during the day, but then uses a
patented daylight sensor to switch to an LED
lighting system at night. According to the
manufacturer, this saves up to 94% on energy
costs. The Smart LED System is suggested
for use in hallways, bathrooms, closets, and
entryways. solatube.com Circle 353

CONTROL FREAKS
Well be the first to admit: we are control freaks. So naturally, we design products just like us: meticulously
micromanaging the entire lighting experiencedown to the last watt. Since 1984, we have continued to innovate,
even when were the only ones to beat. Yes, we are control freaks, obsessed with finding the easiest, most efficient,
best solutions out there. We cant help it. We were born this way.

With a career in lighting that has spanned more


than 25 years and a trajectory from sales agent to
manufacturer, Ron Naus, president of B-K Lighting
and Teka Illumination, has witnessed the industrys
evolution from many different perspectives. What has
stayed with him throughout his career is the complex
and critical connection between lighting manufacturer
and lighting designer. One of his rst specication calls,
to legendary lighting designer Lesley Wheels ofce,
was transformative. It wasnt about just showing her
a product, Naus says. She wanted a manufacturer
who would respond to her design and luminaire
needs for the project. Its this knowledge basethe
ability to learn from industry veterans both in design
and manufacturingthat Naus fears is the victim of
the industrys present transformation. It is also what
makes Nauss no-nonsense approach, as a lighting
manufacturer and a member of the IALD Education
Trusts Board of Directors, all the more valuable in an
industry where change is the new constant.
What fascinates you about light?
Light is transformative. Light is powerful. It changes
your mood. We take it for granted because its embedded
in our DNA, but it controls everything.
Has a text impacted your thinking about light?
There are several, but the one that comes to mind,
given the focus of our business in outdoor lighting, is
Garden Lighting (1958) by F.B. Nightingale, who founded
Kim Lighting. There are techniques outlined in his book
that lighting designers still use today.
What makes a great piece of lighting equipment?
It depends in part on the application, but its one
that doesnt draw attention to itself, unless that is its
purpose. Ultimately, though, the number one job of a
light xture is to turn on and emit light.
What traditions or legacies do you want both B-K
Lighting and Teka Illumination to be known for?
That we are staunchly independent lighting companies
that provide quality, innovation, service, and value.

Ron Naus
interview by Elizabeth Donoff
photo by Andy Scott

The next great development in outdoor lighting is dimming and


controls. To date, outdoor lighting hasnt had to contend with
these issues on a large scale, but now we are seeing requests to
create effective communication happen over the power lines so
that LED products out in the landscape space can interface with
sophisticated lighting controls.

ONE-ON-ONE

What do you consider innovation in lighting?


Innovation is risk. Innovation is putting a new tool in
your hands that you didnt think you needed before.
As a business owner, are there industries outside of
lighting that you look to as models of innovation for
manufacturing and research?
In terms of the specics of outdoor lighting, I look to
see whats new in the sprinkler and irrigation industries.
There are a lot of afnities theresmall parts that have
to be embedded in earth and work on demand. From a
technology standpoint, and because we are so close to
Silicon Valley, I also keep an eye on new developments
in user interfaces. Of course, Im still always looking
at whats going on in the lighting industry, from new
products to evolution in the sales channel.
How has the business of lighting changed during your
tenure in the industry?
The technology of communication has become more
complicated. People are less likely to pass along
knowledge that they have acquired. Time lines are
compressed. Theres no development cycle anymore.
Everything is last minute with no time to properly react.
Whats the most misunderstood aspect of lighting?
Lighting isnt cookie cutter; it isnt a set of rules. Its
called the art of manufacturing and the art of design for
a reasonand that gives us a glimpse of whats next.

* Compared with manual (non-automated) controls, up to 65% lighting energy savings is possible on projects
that utilize all of the lighting control strategies used by Lutron in the ESB project (occupancy sensing, high-end
trim, and daylight harvesting). Actual energy savings may vary, depending on prior occupant usage, among
other factors.
** Estimates based on Lutron controls installed in ESB pre-built tenant space. Payback claims assume 65%
reduction in energy costs and energy rates of 22 cents per kWh. Actual payback terms may vary.
